MFA WALKTHROUGHS

A long-standing MassArt tradition, Walkthroughs for full-residency MFA candidates in Fine Arts happen in the fall and spring semesters, introducing new MFA students to cross-departmental critique and building connections across disciplines, and preparing thesis-year students to present their culminating work.

FALL WALKTHROUGHS are brief group reviews of work-in-progress from grad students in the final year of their fine arts MFA programs. Graduate faculty offer critical feedback on thesis work-in-progress.

SPRING WALKTHROUGHS are a way for first-year MFA students to make 1:1 connections with and receive feedback from faculty they may not otherwise have an opportunity to work with. Spring Walkthroughs involve 30-minute one-on-one studio visits. These are informal sessions, and are not tied to assessment in any way. Work students share at Spring Walkthroughs does not need to be finished or polished; this is an opportunity to make connections, build community, and work through ideas.

FALL 2023 WALKTHROUGHS

More formalized group Walkthroughs for second-year MFA candidates happen in the fall. Fall Walkthroughs are an opportunity for thesis-year MFA students to connect with other grads from across disciplines, as well as faculty from programs and departments outside of their own.

Fall 2023 Walkthroughs will be held on Wednesday, October 25th from 12:30-5:30pm.
